I invested 5 min per day for a month into my faceless YouTube channel [results]
First, I've never thought I would start a YouTube channel.
However, there are so many new AI tools that can generate entire videos coming up that have led to this test.
I decided I would start a new channel from scratch posting 1-2 shorts per day for a month to see if it's worth it.
In the beginning, I had to force myself to be accountable and generate and publish a video every day, but later I started enjoying the whole process. It became my hobby!
I randomly selected a niche topic - Dinosaurs.
I think you need to choose a fact-based topic with educational & entertaining content. Also, it's easier for AI to generate dinosaurs than real people.
I'm sharing my results from the last month below:
- 42 videos published
- 372 new subscribers
- 80.3K views
- 625.4 hours of watch time
- 2.1K likes (190 dislikes)
- 49 comments

Thanks for boosting up my confidence. I'm wondering that shall i start the faceless youtube channel and that make impact on the viewers.
Would you suggest me the tools for video creation?
Thanks in advance!
Try https://hypershorts.com I think he mentioned he is using it in another post.
Well, people are obviously watching it. That's good news. Still hard to monetize unless you take this game seriously.
I did a quick research and went with Shortsfaceless.com. Mostly because they suggest video ideas that make the whole process very convenient and time-saving. It has YT integration too so I can publish straight from their platform.
@ctw thanks for sharing the insights. I was exploring the possibility of doing a Faceless Youtube channel as well day before yesterday and the timing of the post couldn't have been any better.
I like the video titles since it peaks the curiosity of the viewers. Hope you wouldn't mind answering a few questions
Thank you! Yes, more bizarre/controversial titles usually mean more views 🤷♂️
To your questions:
Good luck with your channel!
Fantastic thanks alot for sharing the knowledge.
Piques. It piques your interest. I'm sharing this because I remember when I learned it and I thought, "huh. Really? I never knew..."
Nice! What tools did you use to generate the videos?
I use Shortsfaceless.com. I like they generate video ideas for you + I find it the best value for money. I paid like $19 for 30 videos.
I am also posting to YouTube consistently now... but I have started just now!
What type of content do you post? Shorts or longer videos?
I have recorded long podcasts, and I have shorts on game content. So, plans to post game content!
Nice! Do you plan to create long videos as well? Could help monetize the channel faster 🤔
Yes, that's what I want to test now :)
Awesome, wishing you the very best!
Looking forward to the results 👀
